TRD offers a rear sway bar at a pretty good price (I think?) but before I get it I want to know if it will decrease my trucks off-road capability?? What's the deal?
To answer your offroad part of the question, no it will not decrease the offroad capabilities of your truck. As a matter of fact it actually helps, just as it does with on road sway control it helps do the same thing offroad, and also helps with wheel hop. My 2008 Tundra doesn't have the sway bar and it is pretty stable. However my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee has front and rear sway bars and it helps a lot offroad and also helps in cornering on the highway, as I can take corners faster with the Sway bar than another jeep of the same model and year without the sway bars.
